when does it exactly trigger? is it true, that it depends on creation
time? i made some tests with the help-patch: if [closemsg xx] is created
_before_ [r xx]-[print], then the message gets printed, when closing the
patch. on the other hand, if  [closemsg xx] is created _after_ [r
xx]-[print], no message gets printed, when closing the patch. 
i'd say, the most desirable behaviour would be, that it 'bang's before
anything is destroyed. this behaviour would ensure, that everything
within the patch itself, that is triggered by [closemsg], would be
executed. as it is now, it is not clearly defined, whether messages get
executed or not.
